Auntie Alicia and me :)
This is a little outdated but yes, i went to bangkok at the beginning of this mth. Main aim of the trip was to shop and eat till we drop. I'm proud to announce that we've accomplised our mission and went home with 4 luggages full of clothes, shoes, earings blah blah and even a whole cardboard box filled with food.
Had alot of fun bargaining. One impt tip when shopping in bangkok, learn to speak some simple thai language. Prices can shoot a few times higher if they know you're a tourist.
But still:
me:"ni tao lai?" ( which means how much is this)
salesgirl: rattle off a long list of thai words
me: (nod nod nod and looking like i totally understand her) "oh! hmm.. sorry how much is this again?"
Loy Krathong festival was amazing and the night view was fantastic at the chao phraya river. It also happened to be the gay parade week and also elle fashion week( free swensen's ice cream!) which was held directly opp my hotel. Seriously hate walking next to those models, i felt so short. Oh yes yes! Impt thing to mention: Bangkok is not only the shopping paradise but its also a city filled with so many eye candies! hahaha.. But there are also alot of guys there with an identity crisis. you know what i mean.. hahaha..
Had alot of fun there. Ate alot, shopped alot and laughed alot.
A perfect ending to the whole trip was watching Rain's interview on the plane back! Ahh.. i totally love Rain!

PHS was quite an experience. It sure has fulfilled my wish to yak and yak non stop. I can so imagine joel showing me that stupid handsign and go:" haiz you! talking non stop again! yak yak yak yak!" hahahaha. Yea, all of us had a rather interesting time helping people fill up the questionaire. Xue ting had a lady who kept repeating the story of how she fell down the escalator and everytime she repeats, she'll go: " oh papa! oh mama! oh jesus! oh lord! oh auntie! oh uncle! oh........." and the list stretches on.
It sure was a test of our chinese languange too! Someone shld publish a dictionary of medical terms in mandarin. Non of us could rmbr what pap smear is called in chinese. Qian tai was the ultimate. Colorectal cancer became mang2 chang2 yan2 which actually means appendicitis. erm.. am i right?!
Too bad we didn't get to try out the other jobs like ushering and taking the bp. I had to rush off for a cousins' lunch gathering at my place.
Starting my shopping spree tmr! Yeah! Finally, my much awaited trip to bangkok, the shopping paradise!! Msg me if you guys wanna buy anything from there.
M2s, good luck for the upcoming CAs. Jia you darlings! Ciao everyone :)
